Our Achievements

Princess Basma Award for Social Work and Community Service

ArchiSmile was the second-place winner of the 2020 Princess Basma Award for Social Work, for the work we do with marginalized youth in our community, particularly youth with disabilities and refugees.

In our first Start-Up battle in 2019, we won 3rd place out of hundreds of other start up ideas in Jordan.

We beat out over a thousand other applications to secure the Join Up funding for 2020-21. Through this funding, 400 marginalized youth took part in our Art and Life programs, and 16 youths were economically empowered.

Our team implements mural projects from concept to design to implementation. Custom programs can be designed to include youth in the mural design and painting process.

  • 2019 Finalist of Entrepreneurial Architects’ Award
  • Finalist of the Entrepreneurial Architects’ Award held by the Jordanian Engineers Association, for our work in teaching youth important soft skills for employability through our programs.
